SUBJECT: FACE ON MARS BUILT BY INTELLIGENT LIFE ... 4,000 YEARS AGO ! FILE: UFO2533 BY NICHOLAS OSBOURNE for WWN Washington - The mysterious face on Mars was designed and built by an advanced civilization that existed on the Red Planet over 4,000 years ago - in 2,500 B.C.! So say the authors of a secret and potentially explosive NASA report that compares the Martian civilization with one that developed in ancient Egypt during the same period. As the report points out, the Egyptians were building pyramids about the same time Martian engineers were building the stone Face. The authors concluded that "civilizations on both planets were advancing simultaneously before a cataclysm of unimaginable proportions wiped out life on Mars." Astronomer Dr. Paul Minart obtained one of only two known copies of the report from a highly-placed NASA source. He called the document "a stunning admission from one of the most conservative agencies in government." "NASA runs and administrates a limited and singularly unimaginative space program that normally doesn't even bother to address larger issues such as the evolution of life on ohter planets," he continued. "To have this agency admit that life evolved on Mars is enough to boggle the mind. You can bet NASA found irrefutable evidence to support these conclusions, otherwise the report wouldn't exist. You can also be sure that some key people in NASA arranged to have the report leaked. Something's going on and they figure the best way to gauge public reaction is to get a preliminary report in the press." NASA spokesmen declined to discuss the astronomer's report and would either confirm nor deny that the agency has solved the riddle of the Face on mars once and for all. The Face, of course, is a mile-long stone monument that was first photographed by NASA's Viking probe in 1976. For years, the agency argued that the Face was nothing more than a natural formation. According to the report, analysts changed their tune after they subjected the original Viking photographs to a new form of computer enhancement - and discovered a series of strange inscriptions etched into the stone. "Nobody has been able to decipher the inscriptions but NASA seems to be satisfied that they were placed there by intelligent beings," said Dr. Minart. "They are assuming that these beings were human based on the design of the monument, which clearly depicts a helmeted human head and face. "How they arrived at a date for the construction of the Face on Mars is a bit more complicated. The report seems to suggest that NASA is privy to additional information aleaned from a pair of top secret space probes that were sent to Mars in 1991 and 1992." How Americans react to news that the Face on Mars was built by human hands remains to be senn. Dr. Minart believes NASA will issue "a full and very public report if people take the news in stride. "But when you're dealing with extraterrestrial life, even extraterrestrial life that is extinct, there is always the possibility of panic. "You've got to remember that most human beings still think of themselves as God's ultimate creation. When told otherwise, they begin to feel that they are no more important in His eyes than animals and insects. "And that scares them to death." ********************************************** * THE U.F.O. BBS - http://www.ufobbs.com/ufo * **********************************************
